Despite the 10 miles or so per day that we walk in Portland when we visit, the strange thing is we never seem to lose any weight--could it be the bakery hopping? My good friend Jonelle keeps us informed of the latest and greatest. This time, it's a small, below ground French bakery, that makes its croissants from scratch. As you approach the 10th and Flanders Nuvrei Bakery, your nose lets you know you are steps away from nirvana. I had the almond croissant, simply melted in my mouth.
On Thanksgiving day, we walked a few miles from the Pearl up to Thurman and 23rd Place as a pilgrimage to St. Honore Patisserie and Boulangerie--it's open on Thanksgiving Day, with lines coming out the door. It's all yummy--we sat outside and enjoyed the pastries and dark roast coffee and the joggers and families coming in for the same thing--an incredible gustatory experience.
And on our way from the airport, bags and all, we stopped by The Pearl Bakery to get an apple mascarpone pastry. I depend on Jonelle to let us know each new, incredible place!
